Reviews

Immaculately staged . . . reduced even a staid matinee audience to hysterics
*The Times*

Effortless slapstick that Keaton and Chaplin would be hard pushed to trump
*Whatsonstage*

For a side-splitting, jolly good laugh, The Play That Goes Wrong is exactly what the doctor ordered
*British Theatre Guide*

A highly developed sense of mischief and cheeky aplomb ... it's all very silly ... but it's done with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek.
*Guardian*

Boy does it hit the funny bone ... a rising tide of hysteria ... an enduring cult hit in the making
*Daily Telegraph*

This new comedy has, of course, actually done everything right . . . there are laughs to be had here . . .
*Time Out London*

Farce is rarely funnier; the theatre of the absurd, rarely more surreal.
*Independent*

often very funny . . . slapstick, done well, can reduce even the gravest souls into tears and there are some perfectly timed pratfalls here
*Financial Times*

these improv stand-up Lamda graduates are definitely on to something.
